The best of Ecuador wildlife holiday

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION:
This luxury itinerary has been designed to ensure that it has a positive impact on the planet. We encourage travellers to plan a longer trip farther away and stay longer in one place instead of taking multiple short trips each year.


ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE:
When in conservation areas, we hand-pick lodges that have a positive impact on the environment and actively preserve this for future generations.

For example, Anakonda Amazon Cruises takes pride that the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest is a unique living treasure. The ecosystems in this paradise harmonically interact with each other to maintain the natural balance of the environment.

Anakonda Amazon Cruises has taken the initiative to conserve this area through the preservation of endangered species and the surrounding environment, the Ecuadorian Amazon basin.

The Pink Dolphin Conservation Program run with the Martinica Community in the Cocoya Area provides a safe haven for dolphins to live and feed without being hunted.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY:
It is very important that we promote small lodges that have a positive impact on their surroundings and give back to the local community.

The founder of Anakonda Amazon Cruises supports the community by hiring and training community members as crew on board the vessel and collaborating with others to protect different areas of the forest. Anakonda Amazon Cruise developed a sustainable tourism model that in turn helps to preserve the wildlife and provide compensation for the local communities.

There are also many visits on offer for guests to experience, the founder of Anakonda designs itineraries with cultural activities where guests can interact with community members and learn about traditions. These interactions benefit both guests and the local community.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY:
All the guides referred to in this itinerary are employed locally and offer incredible knowledge about the history and communities of Ecuador. We believe it is essential to have local guides as this provides a more authentic and cultural experience for travellers. Employing local guides ensures money goes back into the local community.
